Britain must lead the way by acting now to protect our natural environment, clean up our air and cut our carbon emissions.

But the Conservatives are taking us backwards in the fight against climate change.

Liberal Democrats have a plan for a green recovery, creating jobs and tackling the climate emergency. We will:

• Cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2045.
• Invest significantly in renewable power so that 80% of the UK’s electricity is generated from renewables by 2030.
• Provide free retrofits for low-income homes and generous tax incentives for other households to reduce energy consumption, emissions, fuel bills and reliance on gas, and help to end fuel poverty.
• Plant at least 60 million trees a year to help reach net zero and restore woodland habitats, and increase the use of sustainable wood in construction.
• Ensure that the UK’s net zero commitments are at the forefront of any international trade agreement and represent the UK’s minimum negotiating position.
• Improving standards for new homes to ensure they are warm, cheap to heat and produce zero emissions.
